Port Vale face a trip to Swindon Town at County Ground at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Valiants will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 18 and win only 7 of the 33 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2005, the Robins carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Swindon Town's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Robins's have scored 12 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 14.
Port Vale's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Valiants have hit 5 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Swindon Town find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 12 games have yielded only 7 points. Port Vale's total of 18 points from their 12 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca Cola League One.
